5000 years of oppression is a big fat lie promoted by vested interests.
"Supremacy of brahmins" is yet another lie promoted by shameless anti-India vested interests.
According to the old varna vyavastha (old caste system), practised for thousands of years, Brahmins were restricted to temples, vedas and religious activities only, they never accumulated any wealth or amassed any property in the past. All the wealth was with vysyas, kshatriyas and sudras.
There were no "jobs" in those days. Jobs came up only after Britishers came to India.

Not only that. The brahmins have successfully degraded lower caste people to such an extend all during thousands of years that the burden of brahmin superiority is still not letting the dalits to lift their head. This is what that has to be changed

It is not true. I can agree with you for the past but at presnt it is only OBCs who never allow dalits to gain ground. Look at Mayawati, She has understood the real sinners and algined Brahmins Dalits and won.

you say as if there are only two casts in India Bramhin and Dalits. why the Bhamhins couldn't suppress non-dalits. it is because they were superior, hardworking, educated. The new judgment will only benefit elite dalits who actually controls the votebank by misguiding their poor castbrothers, may be you are one of those.
